From homeless camp to hope restored 🙌
About 18 months ago, Jim came to us from Gateway — broken, fragile, and lost.
After years of homelessness, a stranger in Alabama walked through his camp and shared a prayer. That moment sparked something inside him. He picked up the phone and finally asked for help.
When Jim called his brother after nearly a year of silence, his brother said the only way he’d help was if Jim took a bus straight to rehab. That’s where he found Gateway — and where he found God.
After building a relationship with the Lord, Jim knew he needed next steps to keep growing in Christ. Gateway called us, and we took him home. 🏠
Since then, Jim has restored his relationship with his parents, his family, and even has a key to his brother’s house — something he never dreamed possible.
Today, you can find Jim cooking at NYC Pizza or leading the men of Phase 3 at Foundations of Freedom.
Congrats, Jim — your comeback is proof that faith changes everything. 💪✨
